Nursery – Silly Soup

Good Morning Nursery children,

Today we are thinking about words that sound the same or words that rhyme. Have a go at making “silly soup”. You will need a big bowl and a spoon and then look round your house for some things that rhyme. I found some in my house that rhyme with frog. I have attached a picture to show you. Say the silly soup rhyme as you add things to your bowl. Can you find any other sets of rhyming words? Good luck and have fun.

Nursery – Cutting Using Scissors

Hello Nursery Children,

Today we would like you to have a go at cutting using the scissors. Look at the scissor skill cards (attached) with your adult to give you some help.

Start with making snips and give yourself a challenge as you improve. Maybe you could cut around a shape or along zig-zag lines.

Good luck and please remember to take care and most of all have fun.
